Description
Angular amber-coloured glass nuggets “Kristallgranulat DEKO“ (cca 2 cm in diameter). Labelling: "DEKO - made in Germany, Kristallgranulat, Nicht zum Verzehr - not for consumption! Don't store with food! Nicht mit Lebensmitteln aufbewahren - Verwechslungsgefahr [risk of confusion]!"Glasnuggets 1DE307A, 500 ml, Amber.
Risk
Risk of confusion (especially for children) due to the fact that the amber nuggets look identically to commercially available candy sugar. The warnings on the label are in such small print as to be barely legible and in any event do not provide consumers and/or children with adequate warning.
Measures
  • Voluntary withdrawal from the market by the distributor.Although the product is available in a range of colours THIS MEASURE CONCERNS ONLY THE "AMBER" VERSION. Even though confusion cannot be entirely ruled out in the case of versions in other colours, the risk is substantially smaller
